Before entering the field of social work, Juliet spent five years coaching youth soccer in Northern Virginia and holds a Level E coaching license.

She believes that clients are the experts in their own lives and is committed to honoring their dignity and worth through empathy, unconditional positive regard, and compassion. She recognizes that children thrive when their families are engaged and open to growth, and she creates a safe, supportive space where healing and development can flourish.
